Chapter 23: Let me take you home

Sasha, laughed enjoying the hilarious moment when she pushed her into the water. However, Ethan grabbed her by the jaw and glowed his silvery eyes at her, making her cease her laughter.

"How dare you!" He growled in the most angriest manner.

Sasha's love cells died on the spot seeing the fury in his eyes. Right now she wasn't in front of her calm considerate boyfriend, but his very very, angry inner wolf, whom she had barely saw.

"HE (coughs)...HEL (coughs)....HELP!" Kavyaa said struggling to stay afloat, all whilst choking on the water. She flapped her hands like a helpless pigeon in the water. However, even in her moment of struggle she shocked to see a rather confusing and dark side to her guardian. Was he strangling his girlfriend? She was even more shocked when he lifted her from the ground with one hand, almost trying to strangle her to death. Kavyaa splashed a lot of water around her as she coughed and inhaled the air around her. That was the last thing she saw before she sank into the water in confusion.

"It...It was supposed to be a joke!" She said quite frightened of his choke hold on her. Sasha had never once come across Ethan's angry wolf, but he had now surfaced up seeing the plight of the girl in the water. She was terrified of him.

"Does that look like a joke to you!"

"I...I'm sorry! I...Thought she... Knew how to swim?" She choked out in between his squeezes.

"Get out of my sight!" He growled releasing her, and quickly removed his evening suit and shoes.

Jaxson came hearing the sounds of struggle coming from Mia in the water. As soon as he reached the pool area he saw his Alpha diving into the water, whilst a very shocked looking Sasha who seemed to have collapsed on her legs looking quite speechless and frightened.

Underwater.

Kavyaa remained still thinking she was about to die. The water that surrounded her weighed a ton and she could barely move her hands or legs due to fright. She was holding on to her last breath before she sank down to the bottom of the pool.

Images of her grandma, her friends, Lisa, the wolf whom she previously encountered before moving here and unfortunately images of Kane and his killer friends as well as the student council members came to mind. She tried to shake those bad memories away and tried to picture the good ones she shared with Mark and his wife Haru.

She was sad to know that she'd die in the pool without getting to know if she had a girl or a boy.

Most of all, she remembered the wolf she helped heal in the woods.

Silver.

She grew sad knowing she wouldn't be able to see him or hug him again.

Suddenly, she saw a figure dive in the water.

Kavyaa was stunned and shocked by the high vibrations she suddenly felt around her.

Mr Ethan Verrono?

His eyes were not dark as they usually were.

Perhaps the water had got to her brain already, or was she truly seeing his eyes glowing silver underwater or was she thinking about Silver too much?

Kavyaa couldn't help but shed tears underwater as he neared and stretched out her hand as he came swimming towards her like a fast shark. Despite the level of his immense energy that she could feel even underwater, she was glad to see her guardian.

Ethan closed his eyes controlling his worried inner wolf, and pulled her towards him. Kavyaa quickly wrapped her legs around him as he swam her up towards the surface in hurry.

They both broke the surface at the same time and Kavyaa gasped heavily for air.

"Ahh! Help! Help!" She panicked flapping her arms about in panic as her chest heavily panted.

"It's ok, it's ok! Mia, I've got you." Ethan said as he swam her towards the edge and pulled her up to sit on to the edge.

Moments later, Ethan got out of the pool dripping wet by his white shirt that clung on to him. Mia was too out of it, to even notice his muscles gleaming through.

"Oh my god Mia, I'm so sorry!" Sasha said trying to sound as sincere as she possible could.

Mia got up looking at the one who pushed her.

"I didn't know..." she continued but Kavyaa didn't wish to hear her apology.

"Save it! I really don't care, if you pushed me or not. That's the most lowest thing you could ever do to a person Sasha." Mia said shoving her away from her sight.

Right now, all Kavyaa wanted to do was get the hell out of the pool area of the hotel.

"I thought I told you to p!ss off Sasha?"

"Ethan baby, i'm really sorry! I'm sorry I pushed your lamb too far!" Sasha's eyes brimmed with tears as she clutched on to his arm.

"Get your @$$ back to the party. Jaxson!" Ethan fired snatching his arm off her hold.

"Wait, you're the host too! Wait Ethan where are you going!" Sasha cried as Jaxson blocked her from going towards him.

"Sasha if you go after him, you'll loose all your privilege as his girlfriend and more." Jaxson reminded blocking her path.

"Even my credit card?"

"Especially your credit card." Jaxson warned making her sigh and cry on to his shoulder. He was irritated by her bratty behaviour.

Klaus came across a very wet and angry Mia throwing her heels to the side and storming away. He also so saw Ethan calling for her to stop, but looks like the little lamb was in no mood in stopping for him or anyone.

On the other hand he came towards Jaxson who seemed to be consoling Ethan's girlfriend.

K: Did I miss something?

J: Yep.

K What's with blondie?

J: She wants a shoulder to cry on, why do you want her?

K: Eww, no she's like a damn leach and too clingy.

J: I know!

Kavyaa was having a great time when she arrived. Heck she even got to dance with her guardian and even ended up with him saving her life.

Curses!

She forgot to grab her purse at the last minute.

Her access document for the trip awaited her and without it, Mr Finlay was sure to deduct her course points. What's the matter with her? She'd already passed high school, and there was no reason for her to be bothered by her failing.

Truth was she actually wanted to go see Storm Mountain.

She wanted to know, what was so terrifically special that no one dared to discuss it?

A cool wind blew past her.

Kavyaa was wet and cold, and hugged her arms to keep warm.

Just then a car came riding down the road. It was a fancy looking sports car, perhaps a Bugatti?

It slowed down near her.

The dark tinted window rolled down, and Kavyaa sighed out not wanting to see him.

"Mia, please get in the car."

"No thankyou Mr Verrono, I prefer to walk."

The car stopped and Ethan got out of the car. Kavyaa stopped herself from walking and turned to see Ethan now standing in clean warm clothes. He changed pretty fast.

"I'm sorry about Sasha. Again. She shouldn't have pushed you in the water like that."

A flash back of him strangling her a moment ago came to her mind. But perhaps she was mistaken. She was slapping around the water quite alot and she was trying to gasp for air, before she went down. Surely, she must have been mistaken. Ethan didn't seem like the type to cause harm to girls.

"It's not your fault. Thankyou for saving me."

Ethan gaze was a look of concern. He could see she was wet and cold and all he wanted to do was pull her into his warm embrace and hug her. Give her that comfort she seeked.

"I'm really fine. I just needed to get away from the pool and I needed fresh air badly, that's why I'm walking." She admitted.

"Out in the middle of a country road, with no shoes on?" He reminded.

Kavyaa was quite furious a moment ago that she literally threw her high heels away, since she could barely walk in them. She chuckled out finding it funny making her guardian laugh too.

{R} She's got a cute laugh.

{E} Yeah, she does.

{R} Then bite her.

{E} Roman!

"Let me take you home Mia?"

{R} And cuddle with me?

{E} She's not going to throw herself on to us like Sasha.

{R} What would you do if she did though?

The wind gust past them, and Kavyaa's n!pples hardened through her silky wet dress. Her sexiness just increased and Roman growled in a possessive way inside of Ethan's head.

{E} I would (Thinks of something naughty thanks to Roman) NO! Get out of my head Roman!

Kavyaa gasped following his sudden lusty eyes towards her chest and she quickly turned away from his gaze, quickly pulling her arms over her in a X sign. She felt really, wet and embarrassed that she was exposed like this thanks to his damn obnoxious girlfriend. Even so, she still couldn't help but feel quite exposed standing infront of him quite wet and cold. Her heart skipped stones as she felt his gaze upon her like that. She feared he had a look of lust with her for a mere second.

Ethan sighed and removed his dark suit jacket and gently put it around her shoulders.

"Mia." He called her softy, making her turn around.

The warmth of his jacket engulfed her and she pulled it closer towards her as she looked up at his half scared face, full of concern.

"Please get in the car. Besides you don't want to walk home barefoot like that do you?"

"No." She sighed looking down at her dirty feet.

Ethan raised her chin with his index finger and smiled warmly at her, making her blush at his contact.

Both of them stared at each other in utter silence as Ethan put a wet lock of hair behind her ear, watching her like she was the most precious thing in the world to him. He was tempted to kiss her on her forehead, but he resisted the urge as her scent struck him once more.

She looked wet and Kavyaa unconsciously bit her lower lip, looking up at his charming scar face. She couldn't explain it, but a part of her wanted to just simply hug him. She slowly took a step back away from him, controlling her silly feelings when she reminded herself, not to get too close to a man whom already had a girlfriend.

"C'mon, besides the car will warm you up?"

He went towards the passenger side and opened her car door like the perfect gentleman.

Knowing he wouldn't let her walk home, barefoot, cold and wet Kavyaa smiled at him in defeat and got in the car.
